The company's current annual production capacity is 90 tonnes, which accounts for 97% of the world's graphene nanotube production capacities. In October 2024, OCSiAl opened a production facility in Serbia with an annual capacity of 60 tonnes of graphene nanotubes and announced plans to construct an additional facility in Serbia and a production hub in Differdange, Luxembourg. According to third-party analysis, the total addressable market for OCSiAl's graphene nanotube products and technology is expected to surpass $400 billion by 2035.
Cyborg Score Rationale
OCSiAl commands a near-monopoly (97%) in an emerging high-growth material category with applications in EVs, batteries, and composites. Strong regulatory approvals across major markets and >1,500 industrial customers create high barriers to entry. However, limited public financial data and execution risk on capacity expansion prevent a higher score.
